From June, 1962 through January, 1964, women in the city of Boston lived in fear of the infamous Strangler. Over those 19 months, he committed 13 known murders-crimes that included vicious sexual assaults and bizarre stagings of the victims' bodies. After the largest police investigation in Massachusetts history, handyman Albert DeSalvo confessed and went to prison. Despite DeSalvo's full confession and imprisonment, authorities would never put him on trial for the actual murders. And more t ...

Host Simon Hodgkins meets with Mine on this episode of The Global Discussion, where Mine shares her insights on the evolving work landscape and the importance of well-being in professional settings. A Remote Work Expert Mine's journey into remote work began in 2012, long before it became as widespread as it is today. Serving as a Country Manager for various organizations, she embraced fully distributed teams, gaining invaluable experience in managing remote operations. This early adoption gave her a unique perspective on the benefits and challenges of remote work. The Launch of Happy Work Studio Recognizing the need for a structured approach to remote work and employee well-being, Mine founded Happy Work Studio. The organization is dedicated to helping companies and individuals adapt to new ways of working, focusing not just on where work is done but how it's accomplished. By emphasizing effective strategies to reduce burnout and increase happiness, Happy Work Studio aims to create thriving work environments. Redefining Productivity and Flexibility During the podcast, Mine highlighted a common misconception about productivity. She emphasized that true productivity isn't about working longer hours but achieving more with less input. By redesigning work processes and embracing flexibility, companies can enhance employee well-being and drive innovation. This approach leads to higher engagement, increased creativity, and improved retention rates. The Rise of Digital Nomadism The conversation also touched upon the growing trend of digital nomadism. Mine noted that today's digital nomads are often highly skilled professionals who choose not to be tied to a specific location. Countries like Turkey are recognizing this shift, introducing digital nomad visas to attract such talent. Mine actively contributes to this movement by organizing events like the upcoming Digital Nomad Fest in Turkey, aiming to foster community and support for location-independent professionals. Looking Ahead As for future endeavors, Mine plans to continue balancing her roles in technology and well-being. Her roadmap includes organizing events focused on remote work and happiness, mentoring startups, and engaging in social responsibility projects to enhance digital literacy among disadvantaged groups.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe Global Discussion welcomes a true expert in digital marketing—Gavin Duff, the Head of Digital at Friday Agency, Lecturer, Keynote Speaker, and Author of the brilliantly titled book Hiding Dead Bodies: Your No-Nonsense Path to SEO Glory. Gavin catches up with Host Simon Hodgkins for a compelling discussion. With over 20 years of hands-on experience in digital strategy, SEO, analytics, and e-commerce, Gavin has worked with some of the most recognized brands. Clients have included Bord Gáis, Bus Éireann, The Irish Times, AIB, Danone, Mason Hayes & Curran, Heineken, 3, Mazda, Dominos Pizza, AXA Insurance, 123•ie, Amazon, DIT, Sunway Holidays, Daft•ie, Temple Street. Barrettstown, Matheson, Dublin Business School, Oxfam, Harry Corry, Newstalk, 98FM, Gaiety Theatre, Aer Lingus, Hilton Hotels, HSBC, Ford, TV3, Tayto, permanent tsb, the HSE, MyHome•ie, Trinity College, and many more. His insights into search marketing and human interaction with technology are not just theoretical—they are battle-tested in the ever-evolving world of digital marketing. A Career Built on SEO, Strategy, and Cyberpsychology From his early days working with Yahoo—back when it was a major player in search—Gavin developed a deep-rooted expertise in SEO, content strategy, and search advertising. His experience spans client- and agency-side work, allowing him to advise businesses on creating winning strategies in an increasingly competitive online landscape. Not only does he lead digital marketing efforts at Friday Agency, but he also shares his knowledge through lecturing at Trinity College and speaking at industry conferences. His ability to blend marketing psychology with technical SEO makes him a sought-after expert in the field. The Story Behind Hiding Dead BodiesOne of the most intriguing parts of the conversation was Gavin's book title—Hiding Dead Bodies. While it might raise eyebrows when read in public, the phrase is an inside joke in SEO circles: "The best place to hide a dead body is page two of Google." The book isn't just a guide to SEO; it's a no-nonsense approach to helping businesses outmaneuver competitors, build trust signals, and ensure their content ranks where it matters—on page one. Written in a practical and engaging style, it's designed for marketing professionals who want to understand SEO without getting lost in jargon. AI and the Future of SEO With the rise of AI, many marketers are wondering: What does this mean for SEO? Gavin addressed this head-on, explaining that while AI is being rapidly integrated into digital platforms, the core principles of SEO remain unchanged: Trust signals still matter – AI tools will prioritize content from authoritative, well-linked sources. User engagement will shape rankings – Platforms like ChatGPT and Google's AI will soon analyze how users interact with content. AI is a tool, not a replacement – While AI can help generate ideas and optimize content, it should not be relied upon to fully write SEO-friendly content. For businesses looking to future-proof their SEO strategy, Gavin recommends focusing on quality content, strategic distribution, and optimizing for engagement rather than chasing quick AI-generated solutions.

1 Closing the Funding Gap for Women Entrepreneurs with Anne Ravanona Ep 241 - The Global Discussion 42:52
42:52 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked42:52
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHost Simon Hodgkins catches up with Anne Ravanona, CEO and Founder of Global Invest Her, to discuss her groundbreaking work in tackling one of the world's most persistent inequalities—the funding gap for women entrepreneurs. Anne's passion for empowering women entrepreneurs is palpable. With a bold mission to fund one million women entrepreneurs by 2030, she is spearheading a global movement to address the systemic biases and barriers that have kept women underfunded, underestimated, and overlooked in the business world. A Problem Too Big to Ignore Anne's advocacy is driven by shocking statistics. "Only 2% of venture capital worldwide goes to women-owned businesses, and less than 1% of corporate and government procurement budgets are allocated to them," she explained. Moreover, the global credit gap between male and female entrepreneurs, which stood at $300 billion in 2013, has now ballooned to $1.7 trillion. Anne doesn't mince words: "The world is missing out on innovation, social impact, and $28 trillion in global economic growth by failing to fund women entrepreneurs at the same level as men. This is not just a women's issue—it's a global opportunity." The Three Pillars of Change Anne's approach to addressing this inequality is as multifaceted as the problem itself. She describes her strategy as a "three-legged stool" that balances practical solutions, policy shaping, and advocacy. 1. Practical Solutions Through Global Invest Her Anne's platform, Global Invest Her, offers tools to demystify the funding process, boost confidence, and connect women entrepreneurs with funders. Two flagship initiatives are gaining traction: The Deal Flow Directory: A curated platform for investors to discover high-potential, women-led ventures. Buy From Her Marketplace: A global directory and marketplace where consumers, corporations, and governments can consciously choose to support women-owned businesses. 2. Shaping Policy for Systemic Change Anne is a prominent voice in policy-making circles, serving on the EU delegation of the W20, an official G20 engagement group. Her team crafts actionable recommendations for governments, focusing on tax incentives, access to collateral, and entrepreneurial education. "We can't solve this overnight," she says, "but systemic change starts with informed policies." 3. Advocacy and Mind-Shifting Through public speaking engagements, her podcast (Invest Her), and collaborations with global organizations, Anne amplifies the stories of women entrepreneurs and challenges societal biases. Her TEDx talk and appearances at the United Nations, European Parliament, and other global stages have established her as a leading voice in the fight for gender equality in entrepreneurship. A Movement Built on Community Anne emphasized the importance of collective action. "We can't do this alone," she said. "Global Invest Her is about connecting the dots—bringing together founders, funders, and policy-makers to drive real change." Follow The Global Discussion on LinkedIn, YouTube, Spotify, and more!
